Reviews:

Amazingly enough, this isn't bad at all!

smoothly optimized, the graphics are appealing - 3D bubsy hasn't looked this good, probably ever. It plays out much liek you expect a bit trip runner style game to play, only this one breaks things up differently. You have the three base chars of Bubsy, Vergil and Wooloie to complete their own version of each level, and if you collect three Arnold token pieces for each char, it opens up a special stage for arnold where you basically play the special stages from Sonic 2. The humour and writing is on-point, Bubsy knows he's a washed up has been, or more like - a never was - but still has his charm of being super cocky as well.

You collect yarn in the levels, and you can use that yarn to unlock outfits for your 4 characters - Bubsy has the best ones, imo. The 4 charas all play wildly different, Bubsy controls as expected - vergil has a double jump and a ground pound, and Wollie is a ufo - so she can move anywhere,m whenever - and has to shoot down foes as well. It's a nice way to break up pacing, so you aren't feeling liek you're just replaying the same level 3 times, with a different skin. You earn completion medals for each char, and those unlock more levels.

The amount of polish in this is pretty nice to see, and yeah - a Bubsy game that's actually good, who would've guessed?

Took one for the team and impulse copped this a few days ago for $19.99 on the PS4. There's a lot of variety in the gameplay. Four characters, lots of costume unlocks, over 100 levels, etc. Watch that trailer, it's 45 secs. This was a Kickstarter game, btw.

How about now? I copy/pasted the Features list and review from the Steam store page and I think it messed with the text color.

I had Dragula playing in the background while watching the trailer. It kinda worked. Lol
